Everyone’s been doing the Vista hoop-la hoop dance this last week and a bit. And why wouldn’t you? It’s not every day that a new Windows OS comes along.

For those that have already taken the plunge, or will any second now (12% of you, according to our home page poll), there’s the lovely and familiar balancing act between bragging rights and bug shooting.

It hasn’t been so-far-so-good for many of us, as I’ve been enjoying reading in Atomic’s Windows OS forums - which have recently seen the greatest explosion of life since the Cambrian era.

There’s elation, tragedy and heartache, some ‘meh’ at the shiny sexy, and some Wow at the shiny sexy.

Apart from enjoying/crying over my own personal Vista experiences of late, the entertainment right now is in Windows OS forums. It’s the thin edge of the wedgie for many. Have a read, have a post!
